Today, Indian railway is one of the most
sophisticated traveling modes that any other transport system can offer. On recent Odisha news, the Odisha railway
is going to reach Nabarangpur very soon. This has brought immense joy and
happiness among the people of Nabarangpur, as if their prayers are been heard
after years of waiting. Before the approach of Diwali, the gift of railway
track has reached to the people of Nabarangpur, Odisha. The Ministry of
Railways and Odisha government has joined hands on an agreement that is likely
to lay the track for the first railway line to reach the Nabarangpur district.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for setting up
a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is expected to result in at least six-seven
rail projects in the state, including a 40-km link connecting the Nabarangpur
district headquarters to the nearest station at Jeypore in neighbouring Koraput
district. Nabarangpur that is located in the Southern part of Odisha requires
rail connection for its financial growth and boost in the government sectors
like administration, schools and hospitals.
The MoU was signed in the presence of the Union
Minister of Railways Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu, Union Minister of Tribal Affairs
Jual Oram, Union Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha and Minister of
State (Independent Charge) Department of Commerce and Transport Government of
Odisha Ramesh Chandra Majhi. Chairman, Railway Board, A.K. Mital, Board Members
and senior officials of Railway Board and Government of Odisha were also present
on the occasion. Railway Minister Mr. Suresh Prabhu said after signing of the
MoU that it is a great step and will go a long way in infrastructure
development in Odisha. Such joint venture companies will provide the necessary
impetus for faster growth of railway network in various states including Odisha.
